Islands & Shores - Deportees

I figured out why some days feels like ages

I figured out why some rooms feel like cages

you left us with no number we could call

you left us with no sense of hope at all

I won’t mind a little bit of decieving

if it got me back into some believing

something gets to come when something gives

something gets to die when something lives

Who’s looking out for this love

who’s looking out for us

who’s looking out for this love

who’s looking out for us

things are gonna be so hard on you,

no matter what they say

you’re gonna need some purpose,

when standing in harm’s way

You won’t let anybody tell you what to do

sometimes I think that’s exactly what you ought to

in a world where everyone is an island

I find myself there waiting at the shore

someplace to stand,

someplace to fall,

a place to call our own

I am getting ready to depend

who’s looking out for this love

who’s looking out for us

who’s looking out for this love

who’s looking out for us

things are gonna be so hard on you,

no matter what they say

you’re gonna need some purpose,

when standing in harm’s way

If it’s up to me I’ll give you all the oceans

all the money and the factories and banks

I’ll give you all the love and deep devotion

all the highways and the airways and the tanks

I’ll give you time,

I’ll give you tears and laughter

You should not hesitate to raise the stakes

I can see us rise to the ocation

I can see us gather at the gates
